i found south africa's case against israel at the icc to be distasteful, and i realize that land reform in south africa is, like land reform in the united states, complicated by the low levels of education and high levels of poverty experienced by poor white south african farmers, which have parallels to the origins of the populist movement in the united states (which makes trump's musk directed reaction that much more confusing, given his ideological alignment with the forces that would crucify those farmers on a cross of gold), but south africa's strategic value to the united states is of extreme importance and the main, major, substantive beneficiary of a breakdown in american-south african relations is china. there's a better way to deal with this that isn't so alienating; expelling the south african diplomat into the open arms of the chinese is just blatantly foolish.

i also curiously note that trump just shut down voice of america. that is a very weird thing to do.

it makes you wonder.

at the least, let me interject with this suggestion: can you take the time to talk to your advisors before you listen to musk, don coyote?

as a consumer, my concern about american dairy is the growth hormones. i would avoid purchasing american dairy very intentionally.

look for this symbol when you buy dairy in canada.

so long as this is maintained, as a consumer, i would be less concerned about import and export taxes collected by the state. i would just avoid american dairy by checking the labels.

i actually suspect that canadian dairy may develop a market in the united states on the basis of it being additive free if there was a more open market and it were labelled that way. it's a powerful selling point. however, the supply management remains essential to the canadian dairy industry and can't be up for negotiation.
